The Chichester Christmas Charity Tractor Run is back for 2026 – here’s everything you need to know
Local farmers will be swapping mud from the fields for twinkly lights as the Chichester Christmas Charity Tractor Run returns for its fourth year, with a new and improved 28-mile route around the city and its neighbouring villages.
The procession will take place on Sunday (December 13), featuring a fleet of tractors decorated with thousands of Christmas lights.
This year’s route has been designed to reach more homes, pubs and other local establishments. It is set to start in Funtington around 5pm and end in Hambrook around 7.45pm.
Spectators are encouraged to get into the festive spirit, line the route and, importantly, support the event’s fundraising efforts for Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance Charity (KSS).


KSS provides life-saving, pre-hospital emergency medical care across the southeast, responding to emergencies 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Every donation from this year’s event will go to KSS.
